Unfortunately, no. Since the bank marked my account as having changed the password, I no longer get the error (which may have been 15000 and not 15500). If anyone knows of software which can change the password, I'd be glad to try to trace the messages when it happens.

Hi,

here's what I received as answer from a libOFX developer:


-----8<----
The libofx library only implements the import of OFX files. It does not implement the communication with a DirectConnect OFX server, and hence also cannot implement changing the password. The aqbanking library, on the other hand, implements the DirectConnect OFX method. Unfortunately even there no password change is implemented so far. (@Martin P, is this correct?) Hence, currently there is no possibility for KMyMoney to offer this feature. Sorry
for that.

I have no idea how the password change mechanism works. Can you trace the OFX
messages sent and received when the request happens?
